Doggies on the Catwalk moves to Buckhead Atlanta

As I sat on the upstairs patio at Shake Shack in Buckhead Atlanta in early Fall of 2014 my eyes travelled across the spectacular property and my imagination began to wander. I said to my friend Jeff, who was dining with me, that Buckhead Atlanta would make an incredible venue for a fashion show. When a couple of other friends said the same thing about a week later, I knew. I knew!

I am thrilled to announce that the 8th Annual Doggies on the Catwalk will be at Buckhead Atlanta! The Doggies Board, Buckhead Atlanta and I share the excitement over this amazing partnership. This year will definitely be the most posh, most fabulous Doggies on the Catwalk. Thank you to so many supporters, past and present who have brought us to this point.

High fashion, celebrity models and influencers, and the real stars of the evening, doggies for adoption, carried and strutted down the catwalk, all together for one fab-fun evening at the city's trendsetting Buckhead Atlanta. We are equally excited to welcome our benefitting partner, Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption. When I visited them last year, I knew in my heart, from the moment I entered, this was it. Such a wonderful organization.

Doggies on the Catwalk will be held on Saturday, June 13th. Monica Pearson returns to emcee, we love that! Tickets can be purchased through the Atlanta Pet Rescue & Adoption website and will be available soon.

Private Shopping with HELMUT LANG

Photos: Avia Meadows

Last night in Atlanta, Helmut Lang was bubbling over with champagne and private shoppers. The atmosphere was casual yet uber chic at the same time. The fabrics, luxurious and [my] guests, super fabulous. I was thrilled to host the private shopping soiree in the new Helmut Lang showroom in Buckhead Atlanta. Some guests were HL fans while others were falling in love for the first time. But one thing they had in common, they ALL loved the brand.
